ment Justice Miller said he had no idea
who the President would appoint TO the
place on the Supreme supreme bench MADE
vacant by the death of Juatice Woods, but
he supposed the appointee would be

that unevenness should be removed when
opportunities for doing 60 occurred.

The President to day received an invita-
ton to attend the North Carolina Teachers
Assembly at Morohead City from June l4th
to Doth. The President replied that he
hardly thought he would be able to visit
North Carolina at tho time indicated, but
| would endeavor to do 80 later in the year.
A we'll known Nirginian, who has been
spending some time in Baltimore, while
waiting at the depot here today to take his
| train for home, had q short talk with the
GAzETTE's correspondent, in which he said
he was greatly surprised at the cheap
rate at which real estate, even that unln-
numbered with ground rent, was selling 10
that city, and that from what he had heard
respecting the price Of Alexandria property
he thought it would compare favorably with
that in the former city.
The Japanese officials now on visit to
the National Capital including Visconnt
General II. TAM, minister of agriculture and

Elk Representative Barbour, Of the Alex
andria district, is now engaged in efforts to
secure the construction of railroad to con.
| ha branch nf the VIRGINIA
| Midland Railroad with the coal fields oil
West Virginia, SO as to profit the road OF
which he is now the Vice President, and to
advance the interests of Alexapdrla. MIR
Barbour seems to think, however, that there
are other ways than new railroads by which
Alexandria can be benefited. He says the
Pennsylvania steel company have estab-
lished manufacturing town near Baltl-
more, 90 as TO reap the advantages
of Cuban ores, cheap coal, and freights.
but that the Bethlehem Steel Company is the
larger aud that it is not improbable if liberal In
ducements were offered them. they would at least
consider the advantages of establishing, Tor similar
reasons similar works on some oi the large water
fronts of Alex audria for instance that between the
| lower shpyard and Jones's Point. He said that
representations to the company to such ELECT
| by respons BILE parties, the Mayor, or a commit
tee of the City Council, could do no harm, but
might result in much good.
The indications now are that the military drill
